“The most sovereign prescription in _Galen_,” &c.
Was it without, or in contempt of, historical information that Shakespeare
made the contemporaries of Coriolanus quote Cato and Galen? I cannot
decide to my own satisfaction.
_Ib._ sc. 3. Speech of Coriolanus:—
“Why in this wolvish toge should I stand hero”
That the gown of the candidate was of whitened wool, we know. Does
“wolvish” or “woolvish” mean “made of wool?” If it means “wolfish,” what
is the sense?
